Factory Henry sight on Uberti High Wall !

Post by fortyshooter » Mon May 25, 2020 10:19 am

Amazing luck to me that the Henry BBS rear sight is an exact tap in fit for the Uberti built 1895 High Wall rifle.
I wanted to try my ghost ring insert Henry sight on my High Wall since it works well on my .44 Carbine and it was one of those
" let's try it and see" moments. The fit was perfect so now I will take it to the range and see how it shoots.

If it works well all I need is to get another Henry factory sight to mount another blade insert. The Uberti High Wall uses a one piece
type rear sight with no insert and didn't want to mess with that or have to make up a complete new sight.

You never know until you try!

Yep....sometimes the planets all line up and things work. Now don't know how the elevation will work out on the High Wall but I have 2
adjustment points to work with on the Henry sight.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

I would think that you would want a tang site on that rifle.
